it was a nice blow water last night and learn some thing from Keith car.
I notices that all you guys that has only change the springs have broken shocks within 1 year of installing them.
I wonder just changing the spring and not shocks will make the stock shocks life much shorter
ricky change his shock to BMW 1s few months back, we will see if the springs will damage the shocks within 1 year
Wish you wondering not come true

I learnt things too,
I had asked AK to place the order for me for the KONI shocks

As pingu said, change the shocks aswell if you wanna lowering your car, unless you will not keep the car long
think bill also said b4 that the stock shocks dont last. in any case, if you change the spring rate, then you should get right shocks for them.
